(FreshAsFrankie) Since dropping “The Oracle” early Friday morning, Mase has had fans not only discussing the bars on his track but clamoring for a response from Killa Cam. He teased a snippet of his track via Instagram late Friday night and also took jabs at Mase throughout the day. But Cam announced on Saturday via IG that he would be dropping “Dinner Time” at 10:30 p.m. EST and the Dipset head honcho has delivered.

(FreshAsFrankie) While on a tour stop in Greensboro, North Carolina, NBA Youngboy and his entourage faced some issues involving one of the rapper’s chain. A video surfaced of the rapper performing when one of his chains was snatched. However, the video shows that the chain was not taken directly from the rapper, but from a member of his crew.

Youngboy addressed the crowd, saying “You see that chain you just took off my partner’s neck? That ain’t his chain, that’s my chain. I ain’t really tripping off that sh*t because I got too much money. I will shoot this b***h up.”

Another video shows the rapper saying “Don’t go on Instagram acting like you took that b***h off my neck.” From there, he goes into another song and continues on with the show. Watch above.

(FreshAsFrankie) Mase made it clear that he is still not cool with Cam’ron, via an Instagram post.

The post featured a screenshot of their exchange where they both said they are still brothers. Mase’s caption for the post completely went against that idea, with the rapper saying “We’re not cool. I shook his hand ‘cause I won. That’s it. As a man that’s what you do after you win unanimously. TheOracle #mase @RSVPMase.”

So after the exchange of diss tracks and the few memes tossed around, it seems that Cam’ron and Mase were simply having a brotherly spat. After Cam dropped his response record, “Dinner Time,” to Mase’s “The Oracle,” to which many fans felt was tepid at best, the two Harlemites apparently chalked the entire thing up as good fun. Mase commented on a post telling Cam:

YOU STILL MY BROTHER IF YOU WOULD TO BE… This was just for bragging rights #mase #theoracle

yea this was fun.. u still my bro too. Glad I get to brag lol. So when u leaving Harlem again? 2mr?

It seems as though this was just one of the classic cases of rappers using their platforms to address some underlying issues as well as testing their skills against one another. Everyone will have to wait and see if this is entirely over.

(FreshAsFrankie) Although Flavor Flav is part of one of the most iconic and impactful groups of all-time, the Public Enemy hypeman may be just as popular for his stint as a reality TV star. Flav jumped on the celebrity reality TV wave before it became the entertainment cash-cow it has become today. But aside from a few appearances here and there, Flav hasn’t been in the public eye as much as before but that seems to be changing.

Flavor Flav has just signed on to star in his own talk/variety show Flavor Flav’s Vegas. He said, “I always dreamed of being a variety show host, and I think it’s about time, […] And Las Vegas needs a talk show. I want to be the one to bring Vegas its first real live talk show. It won’t just be me interviewing guests, but also I’m going to have a variety of people coming through my show that are in movies, television, etc.”

(FreshAsFrankie) Tyrese claimed that his close friends Will and Jada Pinkett Smith lent him $5 million so that he could ‘afloat’ amid his custody case with his ex-wife. The singer/actor made the announcement of the donation on his social media account on Sunday writing, “I’ve been on with lawyers all day but our family and our sister Jada-Pinkett Smith and my brother Will Smith just sent us 5 million to help keep us afloat.”

He went as far as to continue to post allegations that he was still waiting for the check from the couple to clear. However, according to TMZ sources close to Will and Jada vehemently deny giving Tyrese any money. Reportedly, The Smiths are worried that Tyrese is having a mental breakdown while in the midst of the court battle with his ex-wife over the custody of their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla.

(FreshAsFrankie) Lil Mouse was reportedly shot yesterday evening in Chicago. According to Chicago-basedHip Hop blog Fake Shore Drive, the rapper’s publicist Victor Foh Jr. stated that Mouse was shot in the leg around 6pm on October 29th on the South Side of Chicago. Reportedly, Mouse is expected to make a full recovery.

Earlier this month, Lil Mouse dropped “In Luv Wit It” music video. He was also recently spotted with NBA Youngboy and Young Thug on Instagram.

(FreshAsFrankie) It appears Big Sean can add another victory to his to career, as his album “I Decided” has reached platinum status.

The Detroit rapper took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that his latest album sold over 1 million copies since its released in February.

“For the creatives, the dreamers I made this album for, I Decided is now certified platinum. The fans got me 4eva. Thank you #DonLife GOOD Music/DEF JAM #BacktoBackPlatinumAlbums #IDecided yeeeeeeee,” he captioned the photo of him posted in front of his new plaque.

Big Sean went hard on “I Decided” which is his fourth studio album. The album debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200. The album was backed with three incredible singles: “Bounce Back,” “Moves” and “Jump Out the Window.”

The album features guest appearances from The Dream, Migos, and Big Sean’s girlfriend, Jhene Aiko. Alongside dope bars from Big Sean, the production for the project was excellent with beats from Metro Boomin, Dj Mustard, and many others.

However, Big Sean doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Earlier this month, while speaking with MTV News, Quavo mentioned that the Migos have songs with Big Sean in the tank.

What was your favorite song off the album? Let us know in the comments.

(FreshAsFrankie) Cardi B, one of hip-hop’s most outspoken artist, says she’s tired of people criticizing how she spends her cash.

The Bronx native’s smash song “Bodak Yellow” steadily climbed the charts, reaching No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She became the first solo female rapper to hit No.1 since Lauryn Hill released her single “Doo Wop” in 1998. So it should come as no surprise that Cardi likes to enjoy the rewards of her hard work.

However, Cardi B took to Instagram on Wednesday explaining that she doesn’t post every time she helps someone because if she did- the gesture would become less “genuine.”

“I hate my public figures spend money like on jewelry, on [cars], on something real flashy. People be like ‘you could be helping people out with that. You could be doing better deeds. You should be investing that money”.

Cardi continued, “How do you know that they not helping other people out. It wouldn’t be genuine if they post every time, they help somebody out.”

“How tacky and nasty would it look every time I break off my moms, break off my dad, break off my grandmama and I show it on the gram like ‘hey look’ that’s not genuine. That’s not being real. That’s not really helping somebody cause of the heart.” Cardi said.
